recorded live on vinyl from in his home studio in Bogota, Colombia.  Steven is the Founder / Director of SGR Gallery and has been collecting vinyl for over 20 years.    He has always kept it low key, but we will pump his tires and say he's shared festival stages and underground rooms with the most respectable names in the game. We discovered Steven in Mexico City and he was absolutely ripping.  The crowd was in the palm of his hand for hours.  His selections and thrilling stage presence kept us there until close.  We knew we had to get him on the series and are honored he's made time to record this mix.  These records were found on his most recent trip to NYC...Enjoy.

Naps Radio 007: Hurlee

Hailing from the humble city of Milwaukee Wisconsin, DJ lukewarm is a DJ of many styles and moods. His musical pursuits often land in the form of mixtapes and podcast episodes. 

"How do you stay out all night? As an aging night-lifer and sleep-deprived parent, a Disco Nap is my ace up the sleeve. A quick hour of Z-catching before going out is enough to recharge the batteries so that I can be alert and focused all night when performing.
This special DJ mix is my Ode to the invaluable Disco Nap. It starts in a groovy balearic mood and descends into more weary yet blissful tones as the dubbed-induced hypnotic tempo soothes and tames the chatty mind to get ready for sleepytime. To illustrate the journey of winding down I drew inspiration from the trance-like state that super dubbed out and almost-familiar vocals can deliver.
Halfway through the mix you finally land in sleepland as the beat fades away and your mind glides along with dreamy synths and enters recharge mode. I often listen to music when I go into a Disco Nap and one of the characteriscs that I've always found intriguing is how the mind will weave in audio elements nearby into your dream state. Your mind will often interpret those new variables into your dream. Vocals on a track do this best as they have both literal and musical aspects to them. I wanted to capture this intersection of sleep and reality with a priceless acapella from Womack & Womack to usher in Act 3: The Revival. It's slow going for the first few moments after awakening, but your approach to life is now changed as you look on your future with a new sense of excitement and wonder. This is the 'Disco' in Disco Naps. The mix closes out with some Disco Edit heat, just the boost you need before going on another adventure."

With his stripped-down emotional love for music and kind soul, Leipzig-bound beatsmith and all round top geezer Luvless has been steadily cementing his reputation as one of contemporary house music’s finest.

Luvless is known for his work with Rose Records – a label he started with four other friends back in 2011 – and a smattering of appearances on several other labels, slamming down dusty disco edits as well as athomspheric house belters. 

Since 2017 he’s been focussing on his new project Velours Records, a vinyl outlet for different avenues of the Luvless sound and guest appearances by friends.

His music has been described as sweet, gentle even, but banging at the same time. It sometimes pays homage to the old Kerry days with extra magic dust sprinkled on top.

"Had a blast recording this guest mix. With summer in full swing, I leaned heavily on the exotic disco and afro house vibes. My mix includes some really fun edits from COEO via my favorite Brooklyn-based disco imprint, Razor-N-Tape, supports some delightful new records from my friends at Whiskey Disco and the Colombian compadres Vagabundo Club Social, and per usual, includes some extra special gems (aka those deep cuts). Anyways, throw some shades on, lean back and bump this in the whip or on the beach, and enjoy the funky ride.”

"Vagabundo Club Social is the project of Colombian producers Juan Pablo Pinedo & Jaime Tuiran

Vagabundo Club Social is known for using organic sounds, disco, funk and house in their sets, inspired by classic house and by analog synth sounds of the 70's and 80's, they are the perfect fusion between electronic groove and Caribbean flavor with Latin overtones, and sometimes even African rhythms and percussion, which give a new fresh feeling, color and meaning to what is known as electronic music. They are producers signed and published by labels such as Whiskey Disco, Razor -N- Tape, File Under Disco, Buddhist Army, Lovedancing, among others, and also have the professional support of artists such as Sleazy Mcqueen, Eddie C, Dicky Trisco and Pontchartrain, Jkirv, among others." - resident advisor

"On the eve of a global meltdown, I wanted to create a transcendent 70 minute session for living room dance parties which begins with a calming meditation before easing into a power hour of cosmic throbbers and breakbeat slammers. Hunker down and love your neighbor. We’re in this together.” - TK

Disrupting the ebb and flow of an often-stale breed of musical neophytes lands Troy Kurtz as the cut above the fray. Having never been married to a particular genre or niche, he has the freedom to rely on his consummate taste to expertly serenade whichever circumstance he finds himself in. 

He cut his teeth in Miami where he was on demand for the busy nightclub circuit. Troy was frequently called on as direct support for headliners like Danny Daze, Luciano, and Richie Hawtin . He was a resident at the renowned and now defunct venues Bardot, Grand Central, and Electric Pickle. He launched the legendary Slap & Tickle party at the Electric Pickle which would later be awarded by the Miami New Times as the best party in the city, but it was time to reach new heights and a relocation to Los Angeles was in order. 

Tackling the sprawl of LA was no challenge, and in a short while Troy had successfully played the city’s greatest clubs from Sound and Exchange, to the Downtown warehouse raves, to daytime discos at rooftop pools. His appeal was growing, and international offers saw him play in London, Barcelona, Bali, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the Bahamas. 

Wanting new challenges, he leaned on his esteemed knowledge of the musical zeitgeist which led him to consult and work for music industry titans Insomniac and Red Bull for the last few years, but in 2019 Troy has been re-discovering his passion for music making and record selecting, and was most recently called upon by Coachella to play their speak-easy Disco club inside the festival. In late 2019, Troy played Secret Project in Los Angeles. Sharing the decks with some of the most acclaimed artists in dance music; BEN UFO, DJ Tennis, Gerd Janson, and Jayda G. 

Drawing on his love for italo-disco, house, techno and electro, his arsenal of new music is transcendent and multi-faceted. With ten years of experience, Troy’s unique sound is unparalleled.

DJing for over a decade now, and having held residencies in London(UK), Toronto, and his hometown of Vancouver, Galen's eclectic taste regarding electronic music is on display (almost) every week with his radio show "U do U Radio". The show is currently broadcast on www.twitch.tv/galen_allan on Thursday's at 15:00 PST (pacific standard time) and catalogued at www.soundcloud.com/galenallan. He currently has 116 episodes up for your listening curiosity.

With regards to the mix, he says "it is a good representation of his current but also persistent audio leanings. Always a sucker for gentle solo piano musings and laidback 303s, there is also stuttering percussion, swirling vocals and, yes, even 10 minutes of guitar-accompanied chanting."
